He loved every aspect of farming & ranching, visiting family & friends, going to bingo or the casino and spending time with his "Special Friend" Vi Burgess.  He thoroughly enjoyed  traveling the past few years, but above all, Victor loved spending time with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
